Description of problem: python-virtualenv requires pkg_resources modules which is found in python-setuptools Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-virtualenv-1.3-1.fc10 How reproducible: Run the 'virtualenv' program without python-setuptools installed. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove python-setuptools $ su -c "rpm -e python-setuptools" 2. Install python-virtualenv $ su -c "yum -y install python-virtualenv" 3. Attempt to run the virtualenv script. $ virtualenv --help Actual results: $ virtualenv --help Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/virtualenv", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point ImportError: No module named pkg_resources Expected results: $ virtualenv --help Usage: virtualenv [OPTIONS] DEST_DIR Options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -v, --verbose Increase verbosity -q, --quiet Decrease verbosity -p PYTHON_EXE, --python=PYTHON_EXE The Python interpreter to use, e.g., --python=python2.5 will use the python2.5 interpreter to create the new environment. The default is the interpreter that virtualenv was installed with (/usr/bin/python) --clear Clear out the non-root install and start from scratch --no-site-packages Don't give access to the global site-packages dir to the virtual environment --unzip-setuptools Unzip Setuptools when installing it --relocatable Make an EXISTING virtualenv environment relocatable. This fixes up scripts and makes all .pth files relative Additional info:
